Solinglass - Winter - The American Craft Council Show

looking out my front door!

                           

 Reconstructed!


     It's hard to believe another year has come and gone! We have made a lot of changes around the Solinglass Hot shop. Last you knew we were under full construction ; biting our nails and praying all these crazy ideas would work! Well........................

GOOD NEWS!

Randi lighting up the new glory hole.

We have successfully finished building and piping in the new glory hole! as well as updating our 9 year old furnace to be more efficient with a Recuperater! This will preheat the air going into the furnace and not take so much energy to keep the furnace going! Let's hope it works! The Glory Hole is so efficient that we have been turning it down by 10 or 11 am! So far, we are all happy with both BIG changes! The glass coming out of the furnace is amazing to work with and a lot more bubble free; which will help us spend a little less time on each piece! Thank you Mr. Charlie Correll for your fine work; and working fine with us! We miss having you around!     Charlie's site!  (click here)

 Tha Aquos Rectangle.   This piece was originally
designed for the opening of an aquarium in Georgia.
The piece went over so well, Randi decided to add it to her exquisite Window Series. It is 19 inches tall, by 7 inches deep. Cut and polished to accent the form and allow the viewer to see the depth of the coloration.
 She is graciously donating this piece to the Smithsonian Craft Show Auction.

NEWS FROM THE FURNACE!

NEW ORLEANS JAZZ  AND HERITAGE FESTIVAL.!!!!!

APRIL 29 & 30, MAY 1 & 2, 2010

 I took this directly from the Consequence of Sound website!! Could not write it better myself....
For more information about the event check out their website...

Leave it to New Orleans Jazz Fest to conjure up the most unique line up since, well, last year’s New Orleans Jazz Fest. This year’s an exception, however, considering the big names attached and the genre spanning acts that headline the damn thing. We’re talking alternative rock groups, folks.
Topping this year’s bill are Pearl Jam, Aretha Franklin, Van Morrison and Lionel Richie. That not enough? Okay, how about the Allman Brothers Band, Anita Baker, B.B. King, My Morning Jacket, Elvis Costello & the Sugarcanes, Band of Horses, The Dead Weather, Darius Rucker, Widespread Panic, and some guitarist known as Jeff Beck? Well, if you’re not one for the classics, then maybe some local flavor is your thing, as more than 80 percent of the lineup hails from Louisiana. This includes, The Neville Brothers, Irma Thomas, Pete Fountain, Dr. John, Juvenile, Trombone Shorty, and Buckwheat Zydeco. 
For those ready with Sharpies and calendars, the festival goes down April 23-25 and April 29-May 2. Oh, that seems like as good a time as any to hit up New Orleans. Right? If you agree, weekend passes will go on sale Dec. 15th via Ticketmaster.com.
